Lille Prediction – Can Lille record 3 on the trot at home?

Lille headed into the international break on the back of a disappointing 2-0 loss away at Reims which left Friday night’s hosts in a mid-table 10th position in the French top flight, but they return to their Stade Pierre-Mauroy for Friday’s clash with Angers in confident mood.

This is because Lille have registered back-to-back wins on home turf already in this season’s Ligue 1 with the hosts recording wins over Nantes 2-1 and a convincing 3-0 win over Saint-Etienne to give the home side a great start on home turf with a 100% record to boot.

Despite losing 3 matches on the trot away from home, Lille will fancy their chances of returning to winning ways as they look to bounce straight back at home, and their confidence wouldn’t be misguided either as Lille have strung together a 6-match winning streak on home soil in recent times.

A crushing 5-1 win over PSG, along with victories against Nimes, Bordeaux and tonight’s opponents, Angers (5-0) towards the end of last season have been further boosted by the recent wins against Nantes and Saint-Etienne, so Lille look to be on a roll at the moment.

Angers Prediction – Can Angers transfer home form on the road?

Friday night’s visitors, Angers, have also made an impressive start to their new Ligue 1 season as they’ve collected 3 wins out of their first 4 matches of the french top flight campaign, including a 2-0 home win against Dijon just before the international break.

However, similar to their Friday night’s hosts, Lille, Angers have recorded all 3 wins so far this season on home turf at their Stade Raymond-Kopa with victories gained over Bordeaux 3-1, Metz 3-0 and the aforementioned 2-0 win over Dijon, but their one away match so far this term ended in defeat.

And it wasn’t just a defeat – it was an absolute trashing away at the hands of Lyon who handed them a footballing lesson and a 6-0 rout at their Groupama Stadium, so it’ll be interesting to see how Angers fare in this Friday night’s visit to Lille.

The loss at Lyon this season became Angers’s third defeat in four matches on their travels in Ligue 1 as they’d been handed losses at Lyon and Lille in 2-1 and 5-0 defeats towards the end of last season.
